Effect of aqueous pretreatment on pyrolysis characteristics of Napier grass

Journal of Engineering Science and Technology, 2015
Effect of non-catalytic aqueous pretretment on pyrolysis characteristics of Napier grass was investigated using thermogravimetric analyser. Increasing pretreatment severity (0.0-2.0) improved pyrolysis process. The residual mass at the end of pyrolysis for the pretreated sample was about 50% less compared to the untreated sample.
